Meet Justin DiBerardinis, Prospective at-Large Council Candidate

Michael Froehlich, Ty Holmberg, and I are hosting a meet & greet for Justin DiBerardinis, a prospective candidate for City Council at-large in 2019. I know of Justin's work and heard him speak recently, and was inspired by how passionate he was about his intention to focus on equity and justice as a way of growing prosperity for everyone in our city and attracting new people, too. Plus, he's a Central alum! Hoping to have a good showing of Central alumni, West Philly folks, and others at this event. Come out for food, drink, and to hear the thoughts, perspective, and intentions of a potential new leader in our city.
